If a human brain had wheels, do you think it could get good gas mileage? It would be low weight and also have a small carbon footprint.

Best Answer

Yes actually. Human beings, an living organisms in general are incredibly efficient in terms of energy. That%26#039;s why after exercising all day, you can steal eat a cheeseburger and NOT lose any weight for the day. It takes very little to keep out bodies running. In comparison a car needs gallons of gas to run on (and yes a car is much more powerful than we are) but what you don%26#039;t realize is that gasoline is EXTREMELY high in calories (yes; everything has calories, even if you can%26#039;t eat it- calories just refer the energy in something). In fact a mere cup of gasoline has like 10,000 or so calories. So putting 10 gallons in your car is would be like you eating a few hundred pizzas.
